Camping Solcio **

We spent 3 nights on this relatively small site. The toilet and shower facilities were lovely. The shower cubicles even had small sinks. Staff were both friendly and helpful. We didn\'t try the restaurant so couldn\'t comment on the food. The small supermarket just outside the site was very convenient for bread although Sunday\'s wasn\'t fresh. We found it a little challenging walking from the campsite with our dog as the main road was quite busy, but enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a pitch by the lake with beautiful views. It was really lovely despite 2 thunderstorms at night and an untimely 'invasion' of mosquitoes! We used the restaurant and the food was superb. There is a small supermarket within about 50 yds of the site and a bus stop nearby to take you to neighbouring towns. As has already been said trips from here can be arranged to nearby islands.

Our favourite site in the whole of Europe. There are buses to Stresa and other towns with boats from Stresa to beautiful islands. Restaurant is excellent. We did not chose the lakeside row that is more expensive and has slightly smaller pitches but arrived early and had a site in the second row overlooking lake. Stayed 3 nights.

Camping Solcio is a little jewel. We arrived with the intention of staying a week and stayed for 3. The site is beautifully situated and the sanitary facilities are second to none, all new modern and spotlessly clean all the time. The staff and owner are so welcoming they make you feel at home. The restaurant was excellent and the pizzas are not to be missed. The security of the site is excellent, enough so that we left our caravan and travelled to Venice for two days in a hotel and the caravan was looked after all the time we were gone...we were welcomed by the owner on our return. The local towns are within easy reach and there is lots to do and see here. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay, we will be back.

Arrived at reception, not a very nice welcome, produced our ACSI discount & ID Card & lady at reception said she did not want them but wanted our passports which she kept. No advice was offered on how to get around the area, not a good welcome at all.
There is a busy train line close by which is easily from your pitch also loud Church bells every 1/2 hour .
It is a nice location with a clean beach on side of the lake .
We were given a restaurant menu when we arrived and prices looked reasonable, mixed grill for around 8 euros. Mistake we made: the menu was for daytime only, when we arrived for evening meal prices had doubled.
On leaving we went to pay and the same lady was there on our arrival and she wanted to charge us 21e per night instead of the 16e this was because she said we should have produced our ACSI cards on arrival ,a bit of an arrgument broke out and she finally agread she was wrong . A bit of a stich up I think so be aware ,won't visit this site again in a hurry .
